I guarantee Trump and Barr know who the whistleblower is and have already threatened that person with criminal prosecution if they go to the press.
If I were the whistleblower - and I'm not kidding here - I would go to the WaPo and give a detailed report. Then I would drive to the FBI office and turn myself in.
Alternatively, I would go to the House Intelligence Committee.

Significant that Trump sent out *two cabinet secretaries* yesterday to defend his actions re. pressuring Zelenskyy to investigate Biden.

In his book, @comey recalled the time he and other intelligence professionals visited the Trump team after the election. 1/9
Comey, James Clapper, John Brennan and Mike Rogers had gone to Trump Tower to inform the incoming POTUS of the IC assessment on Russian election interference. 2/9
After Clapper presented the report, Trump turned to his team in the room, and they (Priebus, Pence, Spicer, Pompeo, Trump) immediately began to strategize on how they would spin it to political advantage.

They did this with all four IC professionals RIGHT IN THE ROOM. 3/9

This is how the Fox News website is covering the whistleblower story - a "deep state" conspiracy theory buried at the bottom of the page. 1/3
A democracy is dependent on a leader being accountable to the people. However, the people cannot hold that leader accountable if they do not have the facts.

And when the leader has confidence his misdeeds will be hidden, he can do any damn thing he likes with impunity.

2/3
Fox should be allowed to express whatever opinion they want.

But masquerading as "news" while intentionally lying to people to get their desired candidate elected is not "free speech."

It's an advertisement, and their audience should be told that. 3/3

The whistleblower complaint is about a "promise" Trump made to a foreign leader. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
"Trump's interaction with the foreign leader included a 'promise" that was regarded as so troubling that it prompted an official in the IC to file a formal whistleblower complaint."
The complaint was filed less than two weeks after Trump talked to Putin.

SH#T. It is urgent that we know what the whistleblower reported. Extorting Ukraine to investigate Biden is horrific but that is NOT the only aspect of the complaint. It could be even worse. Much worse. Epstein was reported dead just 2 days b4 the complaint. We must see it. 1/

Impeachment Now! Yes, by all means. But the House IS impeaching now. What we really want is for Nancy Pelosi, in no uncertain terms, to stop dickering around and tell us so. Let’s take a closer look:

[THREAD]
1/ Pelosi, Nadler, and Schiff have all been dancing around the i-word for months. And while I wish they would have been more blunt, there have to be good reasons for the “soft opening” of the impeachment process.
2/ Maybe House Leadership feared that an older woman spearheading the process with Javert-like alacrity might not play well in the grotesquely misogynist media, which STILL gives cover to the obvious traitor & criminal in the White House. Can't be shrill, after all.

So #Trump is holding a news conference in about five minutes. I’ll be watching (and probably tweeting). Follow/mute at will!
Okay, #Trump has started speaking. He's already slurring. He's already made a joke about "a lot of......MEDIA.".

This does not bode well.
#Trump is now saying that China wants to "see me lose an election because they've never been challenged before."

It's not just China, pal.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
